What to Expect

Groups of six will be allowed in the room for two minutes to experience the surreal environment depicted in the film.

Guests to the room will be asked to wear protective shoe coverings provided by the Museum—please plan accordingly.

Arrive at the start of your entry time and line up with others in your time group—late arrivals are not guaranteed entry.

Photography is encouraged—share your snaps at #2001DC and #airandspace.

About the Artwork

“The Barmecide Feast” was conceived by Hong Kong-based British artist Simon Birch, and built with help from Paul Kember of KplusK Associates architectural firm. Two of Kember’s uncles worked as draftsmen on 2001, designing and drawing the painstakingly detailed original set.
